On Nick Fury! As Reported From The Floor Of The 2008 SDCC Comic Con International!
Wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a variation on one of his trademark phrases (the one that's probably behind all the panel tent cards saying this year: Please remember there are children under 18 in the audience!), Jackson talked about his collection of action figures. Action figures, that is, of characters he's portrayed. The first was his character in Jurassic Park. He keeps them in his office and likes to position them in different fighting positions. A fan asked about his Nick Fury action figure. Jackson explained that "Nick Fury doesn't have an action figure yet." He went on to explain to the delight of the crowd, "You know, when I was growing up, Nick Fury was a white man. It's nice that he's evolved into something I can relate to." Based on the crowd reaction, I'd have to say, look for a Nick Fury -Samuel L Jackson action figure coming soon! Tina!
(Note from Michael: See the Comic Book Cover below for the Nick Fury I grew up with!)
BTW, We also have an ongoing Comic Con and Pop Culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!
Thanks for reading this post today and please join us again for more photos and stories from the Comic Con! Michael |  That's Frank Miller hugging Samuel L Jackson at the Lionsgate Panel while Gabriel Macht looks on. This occured at the 2008 SDCC Comic Con International!  The 'Ultimate Nick Fury' in the 'Ultimate Universe' of Marvel Comics was based on Samuel L Jackson, so it's only right that Samuel portrayed him at the Special Ending of the Iron Man Film that was out in May 2008! What you didn't stay till after the Iron Man Film credits were through running??? Shame on you for leaving early !!!
